The Cambronne lab has multiple open postdoctoral positions. We are looking for highly motivated researchers to lead projects in drug development, cancer cell metabolism and fluorescent sensor development. The goals of these projects are to elucidate signaling roles of NAD in health and disease, as well as expand the repertoire of intracellular metabolite biosensors.

               Our members led the development of a genetically encoded fluorescent biosensor to obtain the first direct subcellular measurements of free NAD+ (Cambronne et al, Science 2016). We then demonstrated that a newly discovered regulator that controls mitochondrial NAD+ concentrations in human cells (Luongo et al, Nature 2020).  We are a collaborative team of creative researchers, who strive towards discoveries through innovation. Our research environment supports individual initiative and critical thinking, as well the training of future generations of scientists. We uphold a high standard in scientific rigor, and tackle challenging problems in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology to glean insight into disease onset and progression.
